November 30th, 2013 - Erb Brings Down 2013 Season Curtain at Lone Star

Tyler Erb brought the 2013 campaign to a close on Saturday afternoon with a trip to Lone Star Speedway (Kilgore, Texas) for the annual Topless Lone Star Turkey Nationals, which was sanctioned by the P&W Sales Southern United Professional Racing (SUPR) Super Late Models.

The event drew a field of 31 entries to the 3/8 mile oval, and a 4th to 2nd run in his heat race locked Erb into the 6th starting spot for the $5,000-to-win, 50 lap finale. During the course of the feature Tyler ran just outside the top five for much of the event before crossing the finish line in the 6th position behind race winner, Morgan Bagley, Rob Litton, Shane Hebert, Robbie Stuart, and Allen Tippen.

Baton Rouge Raceway (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) played host to the annual Louisiana State Championship over the weekend, which posted a $2,000 winner's check.

The weekend started on a high note with Tyler winning his heat race on Friday night, which locked him into the outside pole for Saturday night's finale. As the race went green he jumped to a comfortable lead and cruised for much of the feature before a pair of lapped cars tangled and collected Tyler. The damage forced Erb to retire from the feature with a disappointing DNF as the team's bad luck continues to rear its ugly head.
